Spaceships Over Glasgow - Mogwai, Mayhem and Misspent Youth (Hardcover)

Born the son of Scotland's last telescope-maker, Stuart Braithwaite
was perhaps always destined for a life of psychedelic adventuring
on the furthest frontiers of noise in MOGWAI, one of the best loved
and most ground-breaking post-rock bands of the past three decades.
Modestly delinquent at school, Stuart developed an early appetite
for 'alternative' music in what might arguably be described as its
halcyon days, the late '80s. Discovering bands like Sonic Youth, My
Bloody Valentine, and Jesus and Mary Chain, and attending seminal
gigs (often incongruously incognito as a young girl with long hair
to compensate for his babyface features) by The Cure and Nirvana,
Stuart compensated for his indifference to school work with a
dedication to rock and roll . . . and of course the fledgling
hedonism that comes with it. Spaceships Over Glasgow is a love song
to live rock and roll; to the passionate abandon we've all felt in
the crowd (and some of us, if lucky enough, from the stage) at a
truly incendiary gig. It is also the story of a life lived on the
edge; of the high-times and hazardous pit-stops of international
touring with a band of misfits and miscreants.
